Two widely different elements we're
represented in this meetinQ-the W. @.
Il. o. wing. represented BY Mrs. Jcnner,
Mrs. Weed, Mrs. Chick and others, and
ths Liberal League wing, represented
By Laura Z. Hall. Mrs. Kenworthy aud
others. These two slements. like cir
and water. will net mix.
when Laura 4. Hall wanted the Elk
eoutive Committee to arrange an indig
nation meeting 10 the Opera House 80
that she e0uld show her indiQuati0a,
Mrs. Weed asked 10 be excused from
serving on the committee.
Mrs. keBworthy vas nominated for
the Vacant plscs on the committee aud
declared elected before any discussion
could be had.
Mrs. Jenner raised point Of order
and the President declared the question
open for discussion.
Mrs. Jennes said she would oppose
Mrs. ksnWortby's nomination; not be-
caase she did not respect Mrs. Ken
worthy az a woman suifEaQiat. bat be-
cause she considered ID itnpolitic aud
unwise to place her on the Committee.
Laura Il. Hall thought Mrs Ken
worthy bad more executive ability than
several other women she knew Of. She
doubted IL the Executive Committee
could harmoniEs so rs to arrange that
Indignation meeting.
Mrs. Giddings-I think Mrs. Ken
woFthy's age should demand respect.
Things we're getting pretty warm and
considerable feeling Was manifested.
Mrs. Jenner said the two factiona Lad
been miles apart, bot she was in hopes
this trouble would be the means OF
bringing them together again, but IL did
not seem NOS a. Though Il would.
Mrs. Chick asked TO be relieved from
the Executive Committee, as her time
was all occupied at home.
Mrs. Jenner asked 10 be relieved from
the Committee on Nominations, and
Mrs. DeVoe vas substituted.
TIE Nominating Committee retire 10
select two names fer the Executive
Committee IN plsee Of Mrs. Weed and
Mrs. Chick, and after being out Ia the
cold for more than half an hour, re-
termed and reported they could net
agree.
Laura Z. Hall moved that the meet
Ing elect the two members Of the Exec
utiye oommittee, whereapoa Mrs. De
voc and Mrs. Giidings we're elected IN
phase of Mrs. Weed and Mrs. Chick.
Mira Giddings moved 10 adjourn.
Laura e. Hall Nv goodness alive

Indignation meeting. ! am 80 indi0-

By this time there were less than fif-
teen ladies remaining 10 the meeting,
and they were the most indignant ones,
20 il was ordered that the Executive
Committee Issue q call for the indtRna-
ton meeting 10 be held sometime In the
future.
